Great Product - LOVE

I just ordered this so things can always go wrong; but now I like it, it is as described and works great. I have a diamond press which is great for small dies. I keep it on my desk and use it often for mood stamps, but the plastic folders warp easily and the opening is less than 2 inches. I then tried the Sizzix Sidekick with a 2-1/2" opening. I liked the fact that plates were used instead of folders, but the plastic cogs broke after about 8 months and the plates aren't very long. A few months ago I bought a new drinking paper cutter, although it's a little big I like it because it cuts quite cleanly, even though I used the same blade it came with, after daily use over 3 months ago, it showed good results (could be better) and great for paper making it's very well made so when I was looking for small die cutting machines I saw that Bira had one it has a 3" bore instead of the 2-1 /2" bore of the sidekick. That extra room is of great importance. There were so many stamps that almost fit in, it's amazing, easy to pick up and go. It cuts beautifully even detailed stamps, dry stamping is better than my Cuttlebug and Platinum 6, although they're great too. It comes with a base plate, a cutting plate, an embossing plate and, unlike the other two small machines, an embossing die. It has long plates/pillows and a small platform, not just a hole to insert the plates, the handle rotates very easily and smoothly. The machine itself is solid and has a very good weight. The level sells it to your workplace. Works great on wood and glass. Don't hesitate to get this little car, I highly recommend it. The price was fantastic, less than thirty. Thank you Bira, you have a customer for life as long as things are going the way they are and I don't think that will be a problem. Buy it, you won't regret it.
